Heywood frequently appears on the nationally syndicated radio program "The Bob and Tom Show". His most popular and widely-known song is called "Toast," (very skillfully played on a toaster with a pair of forks). Another recurring song that B&T occasionally play is "Trauma to the Groin."

Heywood did several spots for Mike's Express Car Wash in 2007: "Man my car was dirty, with salt and slush and mud. Someone wrote with their finger in the back window crud: 'Mike's Me!'"

Banks lives near Flint, Michigan.
